Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The pain indicates some pus presence due to inflammation in the lump area. If this lump is located between the buttocks, pilonidal cyst is the most probable reason. If the lump is in the other location, sebacueus cyst or other benign skin lesion is the reason.
In all mentioned cases, the lump needs to be incised and the pus drained. Otherwise it wont get healed by itself and the pain will become worse.

Please consult a surgeon with this issue.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
